The Summer I Fell in Love

And the Baby Makes Three...

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Chapter 14 of The Summer I Fell in Love. At 3:30 this morning, I just completed a wonderful, 2,000 word chapter, and then, fanfiction.com redirected me to another page, causing me to lose everything that I had worked on. So here is take two of chapter 14... I apologize for the delay, but here it is! As always, please RATE, REVIEW, and FOLLOW this story. It would make me feel a lot better after what happened! Enjoy! :)

Nick's POV:

As I was working on my final touches of my novel, I look up from my typewriter, and see the sun shining through the windows on this March day. Snow was dripping down the window pane, and patches of grass were beginning to peep through the snow. Spring was truly making an appearance today in Long Island. When the bitter winter turns into spring, everything is alive again, life is born. That was certainly the theme in the Carraway household these days. With Jordan due to have our baby at any day now, that is all we seemed to talk about.

I decided to take a break from my writing, and go check in on Jordan. She has been irritable these past few days, because of her lack of sleep, and the discomfort that the baby was causing her. She also wasn't too big of a fan of how I had been treating her. I was constantly checking in on her, making sure that she was okay, and more often than not, I have been staring at her, just to keep an eye on her.

I went into the living room, and there was Jordan, curled up on the sofa, reading the latest issue of Sporting Life. Even when she's uncomfortable and irritable, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world. I smiled at her, and she smiled back at me. I took a seat in my leather chair across from her, and started revising some of my latest chapters from my novel. However, I didn't seem to get much done, simply because I kept staring at Jordan, to make sure that she was okay.

She lifted her gaze from her magazine; and rolled her eyes at me.

"Nicky, honey I'm fine! I'm having a baby, I don't have a disease or anything!"

I laughed; "Honey, I know, I just want to make sure that you're alright, and I want to be there if anything happens."

She smiled at me a rose from the sofa. She placed her hand on top of her large abdomen, and leaned down to make eye contact with me. The pearls I got her for Valentine's Day are dangling from her neck. She placed a fleeting kiss on my lips.

"Darling, I appreciate you being so concerned, but trust me, I'll let you know when anything happens."

I smiled at her, and placed another kiss on her lips.

"I'm going to go upstairs and rest for a bit, okay?"

"Okay, love."

She made her way upstairs, and I tried my best to focus on my editing.

Jordan's POV:

I really did appreciate everything that Nick was doing for me lately. He was truly trying to take care of me, which made me feel truly loved by this wonderful man. I crawled into our bed, on top of the covers, and immediately fell asleep.

About forty minutes later, I was awoken from a deep sleep by Nick, who snuggled up close to me, and wrapped his arms around me. I buried my head into the crook of his neck, and we both settled down for the afternoon and had a nice nap.

After about an hour, I was immediately awoken by sharp pains in my back and abdomen. I look over at the clock, which read about 5:45 in the afternoon. I got up from bed, trying my best not to wake Nick. The pain only lasted a minute or so, but it was extremely painful. I walked around the house for a little bit, to try and get my mind off of things. Another twenty minutes followed, and the pain was back, and even stronger than before.
